Use and Care Guide

Convection Baking and Roasting

Convection baking and roasting uses a fan inside the oven to circulate the heated air more evenly, resulting in better heat

distribution and a more consistent front to back, side to side, and top to bottom temperature.

In general, convection baking or roasting takes less time and at lower temperatures than traditional baking or roasting.

TIP

For best results when convection baking

 Reduce the recommended temperature by 25°F to 50°F.

 Reduce the recommended cooking time.

 Closely monitor the first batch of each new recipe.

 Keep a record of temperature, time and weight for each recipe. Adjust accordingly for the next batch.

 Place baking dishes at the center of racks for maximum air flow, allowing at least 1” between pans.

 Select a baking dish that has no or low sides like a broiler pan so that the air can circulate freely around the food.

 Covered dishes do not benefit from Convection Baking or Roasting.

Do not use the Convection Fan during initial preheat or while broiling.

Operating the Convection Fan

Convection Fan Switch

 Push in and turn the oven control knob counter clockwise to any temperature setting between 150º and 500°F. The

blue oven indicator light will illuminate, indicating the oven is on and preheating.

Although the oven is on, it may take up to three minutes for the oven burner to ignite. This is normal.

Do not use the Convection Fan during the initial preheat cycle. Wait until the blue indicator light turns off,

signaling the oven has reached the desired set temperature before turning the convection fan on.

 In about 10 minutes, the blue oven indicator light will turn off, indicating the oven sensor has reached the desired

temperature. It will take up to 30 minutes for the oven cavity to be fully preheated at that temperature. The blue

indicator light will turn on and off as the oven cycles to maintain the set temperature.

 Turn the Convection Fan switch, located on the front control panel, to ON after the oven has pre-heated and the blue

oven indicator light has turned off. The convection fan can be turned on or off as desired from this point.

For best results, do not place your food into the oven until it is fully preheated at the desired temperature.

After every use, after the oven is cooled, check the Convection Fan guard to make sure it is not

obstructed. Remove any food particles or obstructions like aluminum foil.
